Story
Defining mid-century design, the A1965 is a delicate and distinctive pendant light with flowing, refined lines, gracefully illuminating your chosen space. The A1965 is a progression of the 1965 Pendant, with the same shade and ceiling rose but with the added mobility of a hanging counterweight which gives the light vertical agility, allowing the user to tailor it to various atmospheres and situations. The light is produced by Gubi’s renowned craftsmen, with attention to detail resulting in perfectly finished details, including the skilfully perforated shade and unique lifting system.

Paavo Tynell
Paavo Tynell was a Finnish born industrial designer who specialised in lighting design. He started his career as a Tinsmith in Helsinki, developing quickly into a talented Blacksmith. Along with fellow designers, Tynell set up Taito AB in 1918, a metal working company producing industrial lighting and other metal objects for various industries. By 1930 the company decided to focus their efforts solely on industrial lighting, such was their expertise and reputation within this field. This led Tynell on a lifetime career of lighting design, eventually producing many iconic designs that last to this day, such as the 1965 Pendant Light, now produced by Danish interiors experts, Gubi.
